Product Summary

A lead precision ball screw is a kind of ball screw with high precision. A ball screw is a mechanical device for translating rotational motion to linear motion. A threaded shaft provides a spiral raceway for ball bearings which act as a precision screw.

As well as being able to apply or withstand high thrust loads, lead precision ball screws can do so with minimum internal friction. They are made to close tolerances and are therefore suitable for use in situations in which high precision is necessary. A lead screw is a lower cost, lower performance device performing the same function. Unit consists of an externally threaded screw and an internally threaded ball nut.

There are a few variations for lead precision ball screws available for use in industrial settings. They each differ in size and efficiency output on application. Numerous industries, including packaging, automotive, and medical industries, utilize ball screws in product applications.
